Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEvery time Mike comes in with a tray of food, he's singing the opening musical number from the Charlotte Greenwood movie, Moon Over Miami from the same year, "What Can I Do For You?". Perhaps it's a shameless plug for the other 20th Century Fox movie.
- Quotes
Martha Mason: You did that deliberately.
Dr. Edgar Mason: [chuckles] With malice aforethought.
Martha Mason: Do you realize his family came over on the Mayflower?
Dr. Edgar Mason: His family? I bet ten to one he made the trip himself.
Martha Mason: There's nothing to argue about. All that matters is, Chris loves him.
Dr. Edgar Mason: Oh, Martha, that's ridiculous. They're about as romantic-looking as a couple of oysters on the half-shell. You know why Chris is impressed--because Freddie Browning can supply all the fancy doodads you've made her believe very important.
Martha Mason: [scoffs] I didn't expect you to understand the importance of breeding, Edgar.
Dr. Edgar Mason: You mean money, don't you? I suppose hitting the jackpot means marrying her off to that jerk.
Martha Mason: Jerk? What's that?
Dr. Edgar Mason: Oh, it's just a word. It means, jerk.
Martha Mason: It's a vulgar word!
The film has some occasionally funny moments, mostly provided by Cornel Wilde as he wrecks the chances of Bari's potential suitor Alan Mowbray (Freddie). Charlotte Greenwood is also occasionally funny but the film is ultimately let down by Lynn Bari. She has no redeeming features - she's just awful throughout making it impossible to sympathize for her or support her in any of her decisions. The ending where she suddenly falls for Wilde comes like a bolt out of heaven. Where on earth did that come from? She can't stand him throughout the film. There has never been any dialogue between these 2 characters to indicate she has any romantic feelings towards him. There is also an awkwardly contrived plot involving Wilde and Anthony Quinn (Moreno) as they chase after the affections of Bari. It's made into a further nonsense by Bari herself who is so completely undesirable. She's not good looking and she has a nasty personality. No-one would bother. If the truth be told, the film ain't that good.
